    That clip with Ron Swanson is great. Every once in awhile you find yourself in that situation. You ask a question and they proceed to read the box, or look at their website as if I'd be asking if either had the answer to my question, lol

    My sewing group loves them. I have 4 hite husband has a blue and black, bought 2 red and 2 blue for my grandson for their first toolbox. They are 4,3,2, and youngest is coming soon! Will be for their Christmas presents. Will hold action figures of their choice.

    Mine sits right next to my 3D printer and holds the weird collection of scrapers, glue sticks, replacement nozzles, and other crud. I know someone who uses one as a jewelry/cosmetics box.
    And I see pallets of them from time to time at the local Lowes; they aren't _always_ in stock, but blue and black are in stock regularly enough that someone who really wants one is probably going to be able to get one for list price. (Now, if you want one in any of the other colors that the Lowes web site suggest exists...)

    There’s also a three drawer version.

    I was able to get one for one of my sons. Bought a sheet of felt and lined the drawers. It is a fun addition. I'd also have one but same - the stores around me allowed someone to buy them out and yes - they have them online at least double the price.

      I went to my in-laws (North of Ft. Meyers, FL) for Thanksgiving and I told them I had to make a mandatory trip to Lowe’s on Black Friday. I got there round noon and there were still plenty of these left, I bought myself 2 of them for $12 each. I was so nervous that they’d be sold out after hearing how people were snatching them all up across the nation.

    I kept seeing them in my Puse making groups. They were using them for hardware and sewing tools. They all wanted Pink. I wanted Red. Ordered mine from Lowes. Got it and the drawers were not working right. Took it back. Decided I didn't really need it. Just went to a Discount Bin store and lo and behold I found one....But it is plain black and no Kobalt decal...Big plus for me. Got it for $12. Loaded it up with my sewing machine attachments. Three machines...Three drawers. Love it. Seems sturdier than the Kobalt one I got. Think it was from Amazon. Seemed like everything there was.

    I did buy 4 of the blue to match my US General. One for each of my kids, and one for me. I bought some drawer liner for them and will just let the kids do whatever they want. Mine I think I’ll store some specialty, odd tools like you said. Or maybe my side of the bathroom sink manscaping tools. That’s what my Dad did with his.

    I have the cutest pink one. I bought it about 5 months ago but just took it out the box to start using it. The box has a cancer warning. Not sure what that is about. Also, my workspace is not static, which is why the small size toolbox was attractive to me. That is why I am disappointed it does not have a clasp to keep it closed AND a top handle to carry it around. I will work on adding these items myself but it would be cool for future models.

    Will be only 10$ for Black Friday -but- even 18$ is great.
